      Derek Retweeted Restore the Republic  🌠

      Mark Gruenwald and Jim Shooter deserve credit for inventing the modern concept of the multiauthor shared universe, though of course the concept traces back to the Arthurian legends, back to the Bible, and millennia before to bardic lore.https://twitter.com/Resist_Disney/status/1010196144104902656 …

      Derek added,

      Restore the Republic  🌠 @Resist_Disney
      #StarWars has always been a shared universe. Before the MCU Marvel made isolated Spiderman, X-Men films but each SW installment already told a connected story with the the Expanded Universe filling in the gaps. Only difference is Disneys claim that their Canon is more... Real? Ok https://twitter.com/graham_strouse/status/1010184089817767936 …

      double-edged sword. the downside to Shooter-style editorial consistency is it creates the false impression that there's such a thing as "continuity" above and beyond whatever the current story arc is. comic stories are more like faerie tales or myths than novels though.

      Replying to @danlistensto @PereGrimmer

      so one of the most serious problems I see as a result of that is you now have unstable cosmology that requires either explicit or implicit resetting/rebooting periodically in order to have a clean starting point for an iteration of continuity. for some reason this bothers me.

      but maybe it's just personal taste. I've noted before that I have a strong preference for archipellagos and astrolabes rather than continents and wagon trails

      1/I think this is an issue with editorial control and direction (the "seed set"), not the concept as such. One could imagine something like a "kernel" (the highest cosmics, the physics, etc.) which was very carefully built and _almost never_ changed, then rings around it, with

      2/strict rules (supported by databases) for verifying a story maintained overall continuity -- but uh people Joe Quesada has not implemented such a structure for whatever reason.

      Replying to @PereGrimmer

      have you read the recent DC Metal minseries? Do you know what I'm referring to when I say "the source wall"? Geoff Johns and Dan DiDio have gotten pretty comfortable in playing with their own meta-universal cosmology rules. related: have you read Morrison's Multiversity?

      Yeah, I know about The Source Wall, the Crisis on [X] Earths, Superboy Prime being a jerk and all that stuff - I'm not a DC fan, but you know I do my civic duty! [DC has been hamfisted w/ multiverse changes imo.] *** Have not read Morrison's Multiversity. Worth checking out?

      Replying to @PereGrimmer

      it's exceptional, as is most of Morrison's work. in the recent Metal event they actually breached the source wall and left it breached. this allowed them to, in-continuity, introduce entirely new mythos worlds into their shared multiversal cosmology

      Holy shit (re source wall breach). Okay, I'll check it out - Morrison is usually worth reading.

      in 2018 DC is _much_ better than Marvel for the first time in a while (imho). really on point with writing, editing, art, and the overall creative direction.

          I admit I'm not au courant with 2018 releases; what's good? I checked out so hard with nu52/Darkest Night I admit I ain't looked since, other than the obviously Very Good Stuff like Gotham Academy/Batgirl of Burnside.

          Tom King's run on Batman is great. Mister Miracle (also Tom King) is going to be an award winner and is probably the best DC book out right now. Bendis' just started his run on Man of Steel and the first 4 issues are very good. They have a lot of good titles though.
